Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology and the increasing awareness of energy conservation and emission reduction, more and more new energy vehicles are appearing in people's lives. The main power source of new energy vehicles is the power battery, which is usually installed at the bottom of the vehicle.

[0003] In related technologies, battery packs typically incorporate numerous longitudinal beams. This compensates for the reduced strength of the vehicle due to the larger battery pack and ensures the battery pack itself maintains high strength. This contributes to good safety in frontal collisions. However, the inclusion of longitudinal beams reduces the number of battery cells, thus affecting the electric vehicle's range. Therefore, finding a more efficient battery pack design to balance safety and range is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Optionally, the vehicle body includes a first sill and a first longitudinal beam, the first sill and the first longitudinal beam being located on the same side of the vehicle body and extending longitudinally along the vehicle body respectively;

[0014] The first connecting assembly includes a first sill connector and a first longitudinal beam connector connected together. One side of the first sill connector is connected to the outside of the first bracket, and the other side is connected to the first sill. One side of the first longitudinal beam connector is connected to at least a portion of the outside of the first bracket and at least a portion of the outside of the third bracket, and the other side is connected to the first sill and the first longitudinal beam, respectively.

[0015] Optionally, the side of the first longitudinal beam connector facing away from the mounting structure is provided with a first mounting hole, a second mounting hole and a third mounting hole in sequence in the extending direction of the first longitudinal beam connector;

[0016] The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are respectively connected to the first longitudinal beam;

[0017] The third mounting hole is connected to the first threshold.

[0018] Optionally, the first threshold connector is provided with at least one fourth mounting hole, which is connected to the first threshold through a corresponding fastener.

[0019] Optionally, the first threshold connector is provided with a first through groove, which extends in a straight line;

[0020] The first longitudinal beam connector is provided with a second through groove, which extends in a bent shape. The first through groove and the second through groove are connected to form a receiving groove, which is suitable for accommodating the target pipe fitting.

[0021] Optionally, the vehicle body further includes a second sill and a second longitudinal beam, the second sill and the second longitudinal beam being located on the same side of the vehicle body and extending longitudinally along the vehicle body respectively, the second sill being opposite to the first sill, and the second longitudinal beam being opposite to the first longitudinal beam;

[0022] The second connecting assembly includes a second sill connector and a second longitudinal beam connector connected together. One side of the second sill connector is connected to the outside of the second bracket, and the other side is connected to the second sill. One side of the second longitudinal beam connector is connected to the outside of at least a portion of the second bracket and the outside of at least a portion of the third bracket, and the other side is connected to the second sill and the second longitudinal beam, respectively.

[0023] Optionally, the side of the second longitudinal beam connector facing away from the mounting structure is provided with a fifth mounting hole, a sixth mounting hole and a seventh mounting hole in sequence in the extending direction of the second longitudinal beam connector;

[0028] The vehicle provided in this application includes a vehicle body, a mounting structure, a first connecting component, and a second connecting component. The mounting structure can accommodate a battery pack, thereby stably fixing the battery pack within the mounting structure. The mounting structure includes a first bracket and a second bracket disposed opposite to each other, extending longitudinally along the vehicle body. One side of the first connecting component is connected to the outer side of the first bracket, and the other side is connected to the vehicle body, thus enabling the connection between the first bracket and the vehicle body. The second connecting component is connected to the outer side of the second bracket, and the other side is connected to the vehicle body, thus enabling the connection between the second bracket and the vehicle body. Since the first connecting component and the second connecting component are located on the outer side of the mounting structure, they do not occupy space for accommodating the battery pack. This avoids the phenomenon of reduced battery pack volume due to reduced battery pack placement space, thereby ensuring that the battery pack still has a high driving range. Furthermore, since both the first and second connecting components extend longitudinally along the vehicle body, they not only enhance the strength of the battery pack mounting structure, thereby compensating for the strength loss caused by the battery pack installation, but also rapidly disperse the impact force laterally along the vehicle body when the vehicle encounters a frontal collision. This reduces the impact of longitudinal impact force on the battery pack, better protecting it and further improving the safety of both the battery pack and the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle provided by this embodiment possesses both high safety and long range. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0049] To make the technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Firstly, combining Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides a vehicle, which includes a body 100, a mounting structure 200, a first connecting component 300, and a second connecting component 400.

[0051] The mounting structure 200 houses the battery pack 500, allowing the battery pack 500 to be stably secured within the mounting structure 200. The mounting structure 200 includes a first bracket 210 and a second bracket 220 disposed opposite to each other, extending longitudinally along the vehicle body. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body refers to the direction from the front of the vehicle to the rear.

[0052] The first connecting component 300 extends longitudinally along the vehicle body. One side of the first connecting component 300 is connected to the outer side of the first bracket 210, and the other side is connected to the vehicle body 100. Thus, the first connecting component 300 can be used to connect the first bracket 210 to the vehicle body 100.

[0053] The second connecting component 400 extends longitudinally along the vehicle body. One side of the second connecting component 400 is connected to the outer side of the second bracket 220, and the other side is connected to the vehicle body 100. Thus, the second connecting component 400 enables the connection between the second bracket 220 and the vehicle body 100.

[0054] It should be noted that since the first connecting component 300 and the second connecting component 400 are located on the outer side of the mounting structure 200, they do not occupy the space for accommodating the battery pack 500. This avoids the situation where reducing the space for the battery pack 500 reduces its volume, thus preventing a decrease in driving range. In other words, it ensures that the battery pack 500 still possesses a high driving range. Furthermore, since both the first connecting component 300 and the second connecting component 400 extend longitudinally along the vehicle body, they not only improve the strength of the battery pack 500 mounting structure 200, thereby compensating for the strength loss caused by installing the battery pack 500, but also rapidly disperse the impact force longitudinally to both sides of the vehicle body in the event of a frontal collision, such as a head-on collision at the front of the vehicle. In this way, the impact of longitudinal collision forces on the vehicle can be reduced, preventing the battery pack 500 from being damaged or detonated due to large collision forces. This not only better protects the battery pack 500 but also further improves the vehicle's safety during collisions, thus enhancing the safety of both the battery pack 500 and the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle provided by this embodiment possesses both high safety and long range.

[0055] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 9 The various components and functions of the vehicle provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail.

[0056] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting structure 200 further includes a third bracket 230 and a fourth bracket 240 disposed opposite to each other, wherein the distance between the third bracket 230 and the rear of the vehicle is greater than the distance between the fourth bracket 240 and the rear of the vehicle. That is, the third bracket 230 is closer to the front of the vehicle than the fourth bracket 240.

[0057] The third bracket 230 extends laterally along the vehicle body, and its two ends are connected to one end of the first bracket 210 and one end of the second bracket 220, respectively. The fourth bracket 240 extends laterally along the vehicle body, and its two ends are connected to the other end of the first bracket 210 and the other end of the second bracket 220, respectively.

[0058] The first bracket 210, the second bracket 220, the third bracket 230, and the fourth bracket 240 enclose a receiving area 600, which is used to receive the battery pack 500. Thus, the mounting structure 200 can fix and limit the battery pack 500. It should be understood that the battery pack 500 includes at least multiple battery cells or multiple battery modules, a cooling system, a battery management system, and other components. It should be noted that the first bracket 210, the second bracket 220, the third bracket 230, the fourth bracket 240, and the first bracket 210 are connected end-to-end in sequence, and adjacent brackets can be connected together by welding.

[0059] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle body 100 includes a first sill 110 and a first longitudinal beam 120, which are located on the same side of the vehicle body 100 and extend longitudinally along the vehicle body, respectively. It is understood that the first sill 110 is generally installed below one side door, and the first longitudinal beam 120 is generally installed at the bottom of the vehicle body 100. Figure 1 The first threshold 110 and the first longitudinal beam 120 are schematic diagrams. The shapes of the first threshold 110 and the first longitudinal beam 120 can be adjusted according to requirements.

[0060] The first connecting assembly 300 includes a first sill connector 310 and a first longitudinal beam connector 320 connected together. One side of the first sill connector 310 is connected to the outer side of the first bracket 210, and the other side is connected to the first sill 110. One side of the first longitudinal beam connector 320 is connected to the outer side of at least a portion of the first bracket 210 and the outer side of at least a portion of the third bracket 230, that is, one side of the first longitudinal beam connector 320 is connected to the outer side of the connection between the first bracket 210 and the third bracket 230, and the other side is connected to the first sill 110 and the first longitudinal beam 120, respectively. It should be noted that the side of the first longitudinal beam connector 320 connected to the mounting structure 200 must match the shape of the first bracket 210 and the third bracket 230. For example, if the connection between the first bracket 210 and the third bracket 230 is a right angle, then the side of the first longitudinal beam connector 320 connected to the mounting structure 200 must also be a right angle; if the connection between the first bracket 210 and the third bracket 230 is curved, then the side of the first longitudinal beam connector 320 connected to the mounting structure 200 must also be curved, and so on. This ensures that the first bracket 210 and the third bracket 230 can be tightly connected to the first longitudinal beam connector 320, improving the stability of the connection between the three.

[0061] It should be noted that the first sill connector 310 and the first longitudinal beam connector 320 not only reinforce and increase the strength of the mounting structure 200, but also compensate for the strength loss of the vehicle body 100 due to the battery pack 500 moving out of the mounting area, thus improving the strength of the vehicle body 100. Understandably, when the vehicle collides head-on, the impact force can be rapidly transmitted along the first longitudinal beam 120 to the first longitudinal beam connector 320, and then from the first longitudinal beam connector 320 to the first sill 110. Because the impact force can be quickly dispersed to the sides of the vehicle body 100, the impact of longitudinal impact force on the battery pack 500 can be reduced. Therefore, in the event of a head-on collision, the battery pack 500 can be better protected, preventing damage or deflagration due to a large impact force, thus improving the safety of the battery pack 500 and the vehicle, and consequently improving the safety of the occupants.

[0062] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the first longitudinal beam connector 320 facing away from the mounting structure 200 is provided with a first mounting hole 321, a second mounting hole 322, and a third mounting hole 323 in sequence along the extending direction of the first longitudinal beam connector 320. The first mounting hole 321 and the second mounting hole 322 are respectively connected to the first longitudinal beam 120. The third mounting hole 323 is connected to the first sill 110. In some embodiments, the end of the first longitudinal beam 120 near the first longitudinal beam connector 320 overlaps with a portion of the first longitudinal beam connector 320, and the first mounting hole 321 and the second mounting hole 322 are respectively connected to the corresponding mounting holes on the end of the first longitudinal beam 120 by fasteners. The fasteners can be, for example, screws, bolts, etc. This allows the battery pack 500 to be stably fixed to the first longitudinal beam 120, and also provides reinforcement to the vehicle body 100.

[0063] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first sill connector 310 is provided with at least one fourth mounting hole 311, and the fourth mounting hole 311 is connected to the first sill 110 through a corresponding fastener. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first sill 110 overlaps with the first sill connector 310, and each fourth mounting hole 311 is connected to a corresponding mounting hole on the first sill 110 through a fastener. The fastener can be, for example, a screw, bolt, etc. This allows the battery pack 500 to be stably fixed to the first sill 110, and also provides reinforcement to the vehicle body 100. It should be noted that, as Figure 3As shown, the number of fourth mounting holes 311 can be four, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the first sill connector 310 and the first sill 110. The number of fourth mounting holes 311 can also be adjusted based on the dimensions of the first sill 110 and the first sill connector 310.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first sill connector 310 is provided with a first through groove 312, which extends in a straight line, i.e., along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. The first longitudinal beam connector 320 is provided with a second through groove 324, which extends in a bent shape. The first through groove 312 and the second through groove 324 communicate to form a receiving groove 330, which is suitable for accommodating a target pipe (not shown in the figure). Essentially, the first through groove 312 and the second through groove 324 provide clearance space for the target pipe, ensuring the normal assembly of the target pipe and making the arrangement of various components more reasonable. The target pipe can be, for example, an exhaust pipe. It should be noted that since the target pipe is usually bent at the connection between the first bracket 210 and the third bracket 230, and the target pipe is generally tubular, the bent second through groove 324 can better provide clearance space at the bend of the target pipe, ensuring the smooth bending and assembly of the target pipe.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting structure 200 further includes a fifth bracket 260, the two ends of which are connected to the end of the first bracket 210 near the third bracket 230 and the end of the third bracket 230 near the first bracket 210, respectively. The fifth bracket 260 forms a preset angle with the first bracket 210 and the third bracket 230. With this configuration, the first bracket 210, the fifth bracket 260, and the third bracket 230 can be bent.

[0066] The first longitudinal beam connector 320 includes a first part 325, a second part 326, and a third part 327 connected in sequence, forming a bent shape. It should be noted that the first bracket 210, the fifth bracket 260, and the third bracket 230 can also form a bent shape consistent with the bent shape formed by the first part 325, the second part 326, and the third part 327.

[0067] Specifically, the inner side of the first part 325 is connected to the outer side of the end of the first bracket 210 near the third bracket 230, the inner side of the second part 326 is connected to the outer side of the fifth bracket 260, and the inner side of the third part 327 is connected to the outer side of the end of the third bracket 230 near the first bracket 210. This arrangement provides more suitable clearance for the target pipe fitting, facilitating bending, and also improves the stability of the connection between the first longitudinal beam connector 320 and the mounting structure 200.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle body 100 further includes a second sill 130 and a second longitudinal beam 140. The second sill 130 and the second longitudinal beam 140 are located on the same side of the vehicle body 100 and extend longitudinally along the vehicle body, respectively. The second sill 130 is opposite to the first sill 110, and the second longitudinal beam 140 is opposite to the first longitudinal beam 120.

[0069] The second connecting assembly 400 includes a second sill connector 410 and a second longitudinal beam connector 420 connected together. One side of the second sill connector 410 is connected to the outer side of the second bracket 220, and the other side is connected to the second sill connector 410. One side of the second longitudinal beam connector 420 is connected to the outer side of at least a portion of the second bracket 220 and the outer side of at least a portion of the third bracket 230, and the other side is connected to the second sill 130 and the second longitudinal beam 140, respectively.

[0070] Understandably, the second sill connector 410 is generally installed below the other side door. For example, the first sill 110 is installed below the left side door of the vehicle, and the second sill connector 410 is installed below the right side door of the vehicle. The second longitudinal beam connector 420 is generally installed at the bottom of the vehicle body 100, with the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 140 spaced apart and opposite to each other. It should be noted that the side of the second longitudinal beam connector 420 connected to the mounting structure 200 must match the shape of the second bracket 220 and the third bracket 230. For example, if the connection between the second bracket 220 and the third bracket 230 is at a right angle, then the side of the second longitudinal beam connector 420 connected to the mounting structure 200 is also at a right angle; if the connection between the second bracket 220 and the third bracket 230 is curved, then the side of the second longitudinal beam connector 420 connected to the mounting structure 200 is also curved, and so on. This ensures that the second support 220 and the third support 230 can be tightly connected to the second longitudinal beam connector 420, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the three.

[0071] It should be noted that the second sill connector 410 and the second longitudinal beam connector 420 not only reinforce and increase the strength of the mounting structure 200, but also compensate for the strength loss of the vehicle body 100 due to the battery pack 500 moving out of the mounting area, thus improving the strength of the vehicle body 100. Understandably, when the vehicle collides head-on, the impact force can be rapidly transferred along the second longitudinal beam connector 420, and then from there to the second sill connector 410. Because the impact force can be quickly dispersed to the sides of the vehicle body 100, the impact of longitudinal impact force on the battery pack 500 can be reduced. Therefore, in the event of a head-on collision, the battery pack 500 can be better protected, preventing damage or deflagration due to a large impact force, thus improving the safety of the battery pack 500 and the vehicle, and consequently, the safety of the occupants.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the second longitudinal beam connector 420 facing away from the mounting structure 200 is provided with a fifth mounting hole 421, a sixth mounting hole 422, and a seventh mounting hole 423 in sequence along the extending direction of the second longitudinal beam connector 420. The fifth mounting hole 421 and the sixth mounting hole 422 are respectively connected to the second longitudinal beam 140. The seventh mounting hole 423 is connected to the second sill 130. In some embodiments, the end of the second longitudinal beam 140 near the second longitudinal beam connector 420 overlaps with a portion of the second longitudinal beam connector 420, and the fifth mounting hole 421 and the sixth mounting hole 422 are respectively connected to the corresponding mounting holes on the end of the second longitudinal beam 140 by fasteners. The fasteners can be, for example, screws, bolts, etc. This allows the battery pack 500 to be stably fixed to the second longitudinal beam 140, and also provides reinforcement to the vehicle body 100.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the second sill connector 410 is provided with at least one eighth mounting hole 412, and the eighth mounting hole 412 is connected to the second sill 130 by a corresponding fastener. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second sill 130 overlaps with the second sill connector 410, and each eighth mounting hole 412 is connected to a corresponding mounting hole on the second sill 130 by a fastener. The fastener can be, for example, a screw, bolt, etc. This allows the battery pack 500 to be stably fixed to the second sill 130, and also provides reinforcement to the vehicle body 100. It should be noted that, as Figure 3 As shown, the number of eighth mounting holes 412 can be four, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the second sill connector 410 and the second sill 130. The number of eighth mounting holes 412 can also be adjusted based on the dimensions of the second sill connector 410 and the second sill 130.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting structure 200 further includes a sixth bracket 270, the two ends of which are connected to the end of the second bracket 220 near the third bracket 230 and the end of the third bracket 230 near the second bracket 220, respectively. The sixth bracket 270 forms a preset angle with the second bracket 220 and the third bracket 230. With this configuration, the second bracket 220, the sixth bracket 270, and the third bracket 230 can be bent.

[0075] The second longitudinal beam connector 420 includes a fourth part 424, a fifth part 425, and a sixth part 426 connected in sequence, forming a bent shape. It should be noted that the third support 230, the sixth support 270, and the second support 220 can also form a bent shape consistent with the bent shape formed by the fourth part 424, the fifth part 425, and the sixth part 426.

[0076] Specifically, the inner side of the fourth part 424 is connected to the outer side of the end of the third bracket 230 near the first bracket 210; the inner side of the fifth part 425 is connected to the outer side of the sixth bracket 270; and the inner side of the sixth part 426 is connected to the outer side of the end of the second bracket 220 near the first bracket 210. This arrangement improves the stability of the connection between the second longitudinal beam 140 and the mounting structure 200. It should be noted that if there are other target pipe fittings on the side where the second longitudinal beam connector 420 is located, a receiving groove can be provided on the second connecting assembly 400, based on the same principle as the receiving groove 330 provided on the first connector, therefore, this application will not elaborate further.

[0077] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, both the first longitudinal beam connector 320 and the second longitudinal beam connector 420 are solid cast aluminum structures. This allows the first longitudinal beam connector 320 and the second longitudinal beam connector 420 to have high rigidity and strength, which increases the rigidity and strength of the mounting structure 200, thereby improving its stability and providing better protection for the battery pack 500. Furthermore, in the event of a frontal collision, the first longitudinal beam connector 320 more effectively and quickly transfers the impact force sequentially to the first sill connector 310 and the first sill 110, and the second longitudinal beam connector 420 more effectively and quickly transfers the impact force sequentially to the second sill connector 410 and the second sill 130, effectively dispersing the impact force to both sides of the vehicle body 100, significantly reducing the impact on the battery pack 500. This improves the safety of the battery pack 500 in a frontal collision, thereby enhancing the safety of the vehicle body 100 and its occupants.

[0078] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, both the first threshold connector 310 and the second threshold connector 410 are hollow structures. The first threshold connector 310 has at least one first support plate 313 inside, and the second threshold connector 410 has at least one second support plate 411 inside. The first support plate 313 extends along the extending direction of the first threshold connector 310. The surface of the first support plate 313 can be approximately parallel to or at a preset angle to the surface of the first threshold connector 310. It can be understood that the two sides of the first support plate 313 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the corresponding first threshold connector 310. When there are multiple first support plates 313, some of the first support plates 313 are approximately parallel to the surface of the first threshold connector 310, while others are at a preset angle to the surface of the first threshold connector 310. By providing the first support plate 313, the rigidity and strength of the first threshold connector 310 can be improved. It should be noted that the second support plate 411 is arranged in the same way as the first support plate 313 in the first sill connector 310, so the arrangement of the second support plate 411 will not be described again here. It is understood that by setting the first support plate 313 and the second support plate 411, the rigidity and strength of the first connecting assembly 300 and the second connecting assembly 400 can be improved, further enhancing the rigidity and strength of the mounting structure 200, thus providing better protection for the battery pack 500.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting structure 200 further includes at least one seventh bracket 280, which extends laterally along the vehicle body. It should be noted that "lateral" refers to the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, i.e., from the left door to the right door. The two ends of the seventh bracket 280 are connected to the inner sides of the first bracket 210 and the second bracket 220, respectively, for example, by welding. The seventh bracket 280 is used to divide the accommodating area 600 into multiple sub-accommodating areas 610, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the battery pack 500 within each sub-accommodating area 610. For example, when the battery pack 500 includes multiple battery modules composed of multiple individual cells, each battery module can be installed in its corresponding sub-accommodating area 610. The seventh bracket 280 not only supports the first bracket 210 and the second bracket 220 to improve the stability of the mounting structure 200, but also facilitates the installation of battery modules and supports the sides of the battery modules, further improving the stability of the battery pack 500.

[0080] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting structure 200 is a hollow structure, and at least one third support plate 250 is provided inside the mounting structure 200. It should be noted that the arrangement of the third support plate 250 within the mounting structure 200 is similar to the arrangement of the first support plate 313 within the first sill connector 310. For example, the third support plate 250 within the third bracket 230 extends along the extension direction of the third bracket 230, and the plane containing the third support plate 250 is parallel to or forms a preset angle with the top surface 231 of the third bracket 230. The specific arrangement of the third support plate 250 within the corresponding bracket will not be described again in this embodiment. It is understood that the third support plate 250 can improve the rigidity and strength of the mounting structure 200, thereby providing better protection for the battery pack 500.

[0081] As can be seen from the above, the vehicle provided in this application embodiment has a first connecting component 300 and a second connecting component 400 respectively provided on both sides of the body 100. The first connecting component 300 is connected to the first longitudinal beam 120 and the first sill 110 respectively, and the second connecting component 400 is connected to the second longitudinal beam 140 and the second sill 130 respectively. This arrangement not only improves the strength of the mounting structure 200 used to accommodate the battery pack 500 and compensates for the strength loss of the body 100 in making room for the battery pack 500, ensuring that both the mounting structure 200 and the body 100 have high strength and rigidity, but also can quickly disperse the collision force to both sides of the body 100 when the vehicle encounters a frontal collision, reducing the impact of the collision force on the battery pack 500, improving the safety of the battery pack 500, and thus improving the safety of the body 100 and the occupants. Furthermore, since the first connecting component 300 and the second connecting component 400 do not occupy the installation space of the battery pack 500, the number of battery packs 500 is not reduced due to the occupation of the battery pack 500 installation space, thus ensuring that the battery pack 500 still has a high driving range. In summary, the vehicle provided in this application embodiment has both high safety and high driving range.
